Mock College Magazine

What went well?

The front cover is partially finished due to my poor time management. The mast head dominates the page which is effective as readers will quickly be able to identify the name of the magazine. I chose to do a dark blue which stands out, because if i had chosen a brighter colour  ,it would blend in with the background. However, I may need to change the colour of the mast head if i applied an image as would not be noticeable. I wanted to keep my colour scheme very professional which would appeal to my target audience of young men and females. Using photoshop was a bit challenging at first however , as i started to learn the basics i took it upon myself to play around with photoshop to see what i could do.
The contents page was also unfinished due to poor time management however, I got the basics done such the the title 'Contents' , the page numbers of the different articles and a clear colour scheme. If i managed my time, then i was going to add small pictures on the right hand side going down. The pictures would've been of students participating everyday school life such as eating lunch, independent study in the library etc. I also kept the font very bold and classic as it is clear to read and readers will be able to navigate around the magazine easily. Using Indesign was much harder than photoshop because there were a lot more tools and i needed more time to get used to the software more easily.
Other students said that my content page and front cover would've of been of good standard had i managed my time effectively. The also thought that the idea of keeping my colour scheme and font simple would add to the professionalism and of easy standard to read. My targets for the music magazine is to manage my time well and use the softwares regularly in order to gain more knowledge to make the magazine to the best of my ability.
